A Philadelphia judge has decided
flint n man who cannot or does not
read ibe newspapers is not properly
qualified for jury service. The de
cision is sonud and sensible one
and ifit is not good law it ought to
be, The usual supposition that an
intelligent knowledge OF case dis
qualities a man Us q juror, is q relic
OF an ago when newspapers were few
aud uowsgathering in the modern
sense. unknown Now conditions
modify everything, and this is the
point at which the system of jury
trials needs radical and intelligent
modification.

that Boston Corbett, who shot John

hopelcssly insane, and a guardian
has been appointed by the probate

Corbett Was taken to the State in

that it is impossible for him to be

Of insanity for several years, and i'm

has been formed in Now W. :i1w,th

called the Dry Goods Credit Guar

proposes, in view IF the strained
condition of credit in this country,
to insure all applicants against loss,
against any debts due OF to become
due upon bona file sales Of mer-
chandIse, for fixed times, for a rea-
sonable consideration, graduated in
every instance to the character Of the

simply a widening of the already
broad field of insurance Almost
everything can -days be iusur-
ed. Fire, storms, water, sickness
and death are all provided for; crops
aud stock and merchandise arc taken
care Of; and now comes this new
scheme to guard against losses
through the credit system. The
benefits Of insurance are SO well un-
derstood aud SO thoroughly appre>
ciated, that the new company will
no doubt do a large amount of bust

Arrested for Forgery.

The police have been looking for several
days for man named James J. McCann
who is wanted in San Francisco on a
charge of forgery, as it was believed that
he was in Sacramento Monday evening
Chief Dillman learned that he was in town.
and that he was in the habit of visiting a
grocery in the lower portion of the CITY
Officer O'Meara was detailed to attend to
the matter and did so with such good re-
suits that yesterday forenoon McCann was
lodged in the station-house. He told the
officer when arrested, " / know what YOU
want me for. but l had nothing to do with
it." His room at lodging house was
searched, but scarcely anything was found
belonging to him. except some sardine and
oyster cans, crackers, ETC., showing that he
had been keeping as shady as possible
He will be taken to San Francisco this
morning. He is said to have collected a
total of 1855 from the City Treasury of San
Francisco by means of forged orders, pur-
porting TO come from the Probate Court
Chief Crowley says he has no doubt as to
McCann's being the right party He
thinks he was the only person engaged in
the business, although there is possibility
that another person who was in McCann's
company a good deal at the time the for
geries were committed, was also implicated.

a Bogus "Detectiye. :"

Sheriff Drew yesterday called the atten-
ton of special Deputy Sheriff Cone, man.
ager of the United States Detective Asso-
citation" to the fact that man assuming
to be member of that organization had
created much annoyance late Saturday
night, when he visited several residences
and demanded admission as detective :"
or requested the loan of pistol to enable
him to capture certain bad characters
whom he said he had encountered. The
Sheriff suggested that the man should be
brought into Court and made 10 give an
| account of himself, as Mr.. Cone stated that
he did not belong to his force. Acting upon
the suggestion, Mr.. Cone found and arrest
ed him. he was extremely penitebt, and
when taken before Justice Post entered q
plea of guilty to charge OF disturbing the
peace, though he declared he did NOT know
thing about what had transpired beyond
what he had been told, as he had been
king freely and was doubtless on the
verge of delirium tremens at the time. He
admitted that he was not member of the
Detective Association. The Court fined
him $40. which he paid, and declared that
his experience would be a warning which
would prevent his ever indulging in intoxi-
cants again. At the risk of being accused
of " suppressing news" we withhold his
name, as its publication would be of no
benefit to the public, might cost him the
loss of his situation, and would be very
Notifying to his mother, sisters and
brothers. In his desire to make redress, he
has called upon those whom he annoyed
and made apology for his misconduct.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
OPP FOR THE EAST.

ThoroUghbreds and Trotters on Their
Way to the Big Races
Last evening L. III. Todhunter's stable of
thoroughbreds, consisting of Monte Cristo,
Safe Ban, Pocatello and King Idle, left for
the East in special car attached to the
express train, Charles Schlutius having
them in charge. They have engagements
at st. Louis, Chicago and Louisville, and if
they are not purchased by some of the adj
mirers of fine stock back there, will proba-
bly, return in time for the State Fair. Mr..
SchlutiUs took with him sufficient sup
ply of hay and feed to go and return with.
1t was mentioned in the RECORD UNION
yesterday that Harry Wilkes, Arab and
other fast horses went East Monday night
from San Francisco. The Chronicle saws
that in one car there were Arab. J. O.
Harry Wilkes, Alert, Problem, Voucher.
Condo, Charley Hilton, a yearling by Elec-
tioneer from Nutwood mare, two coach
horses for Mr.. Baxter, as also the celebrated
stallion Abbotsford, who goes east TO the
Belle AIR stock farm, Woodlake county.
KY, under the care of Wash James, but
probably only for the remainder of the
present season. Abbotsford is of grand
stock, with record of 219!, he being by
Woodford Mambrino, dam Columbia by
Young Columbus, so that the strain ought
to match well with the famous mares of
the Bluegrass region. This carload goes
directly TO Terre Haute, Ind. and thence
the horses will be shipped to their various
destinations.
Harry Wilkes will probably be sent on
to Philadelphia, while Arab may make
Chicago as his first point in the trotting
campaign. Frank Vanness was outspoken
in regard 70 the reception he had met with
in California, and states that he did but re-
echo the words of Mr.. Sire, one of the
brother owners of Harry Wilkes, in saving
that nowhere On the continent would be
found more healthy and equable climate
for wintering of fine stock He said that
he had made g great many friends on the
coast, and hoped sincerely to return next
season with a large number of horses.
Orrin Hickok was also in coed spirits. and
hoped to make a good record with Arab
during the next campaign.
In the second car was q fine draught of
promising stock from the Palo Alto ranch,
including the young stallion Saint Bell, an
own brother to Hindoo Rose, four brown
mares of high pedigree, and six fllies of
Nephew stock that go to the Sibley stock
farm. franklin county, Pa. Taken al
together, this is the most valuable consgn-
ment of trotting stock made to the East for
wear past.

at some meeting TO be held between now
